TTC first baby

Hi,
I'm on cycle 5 of TTC with first child. I used clear blue advanced ovulation test for the first time last month and have purchased another one to use this month also. I'm on day 7 of this cycle and am planning on starting ovulation testing on day 12 as I ovulated on day 17 last month. I have a pretty regular 27 day cycle (no longer than 29 days).
I know it's still early days but I feel like it's never going to happen. I can't imagine actually getting a positive result. Is anyone else in a similar position and want to be on this journey with me?
Thanks x

@littlelisa34 no don't be silly!! I'm then happy about the TMI 😂 I've had so much milky CM the last day or two, I've almost put a pad on! The days after ov it was very thick.

littlelisa34 · 11/08/2019 09:51

@tryingforbabyone hopefully you'll be able to have some fun today even though your not drinking and lose the baby brain for a few hours at least 😁

@May2311 yeah I'm definitely waiting until I'm at least a couple of days late for AF due on 16th/17th just hoping she doesn't show up this month.. Hopefully yours will go really quick and you'll get a BFP 😁

littlelisa34 · 11/08/2019 09:53

@Ginfizz90 good to know thank you how many dpo are you now?

tryingforbabyone · 12/08/2019 07:45

@littlelisa34 yeah I managed to take my mind of things for the day which was nice!

@May2311 yes I'm going to wait a couple of days before testing. When are you going to test @littlelisa34?

littlelisa34 · 12/08/2019 09:04

@tryingforbabyone good I'm glad you enjoyed yourself and had a good time, I'm due on around 16/17th so going to wait until around the 20th if I make it that far but last night and today has some AF like cramps so don't actually think I will make it that far. How are you doing anything new?? When are you thinking of testing?? X

littlelisa34 · 12/08/2019 09:06

@Ginfizz90 I've read that a lot women expecting to go to the loo and AF to be there after there BFP but I'm sure it will be a wonderful happy and healthy 9 moths for you Hun. I've had some AF like cramps for couple of days now so I'm not feeling like it's worked this month ☹️x

littlelisa34 · 12/08/2019 09:11

@mrssunshinexxx clearblue are really good I think when you get your first peak day you usually ovulate within 24-36 hours must be hard when your partner works away but you may have caught ovulation this time you never know. I use Flo and its usually off so I started using glow instead.
Good luck for your BFP 😁x

mrssunshinexxx · 12/08/2019 09:19

@littlelisa34 thank you you never know i keep telling myself it only takes once x

littlelisa34 · 12/08/2019 09:24

@mrssunshinexxx you definitely never know.. try and keep positive 😁x

tryingforbabyone · 12/08/2019 10:19

@littlelisa34 still very much the same really. Feel like I have a little sore lower back and little cramps and tingly nipples now and then but I think I'm imagining it tbh. I think I'm going to test on the 20th/21st if I make it that far.

littlelisa34 · 12/08/2019 11:31

@tryingforbabyone I will keep my fingers crossed for you that you make it that far.. I have a free day on the 21st so that's when I'm thinking I'm gonna go buy a test because I'm definitely not buying one before that. Your symptoms sound good Hun, my boobs don't feel any different at all got a sharp shooting pain in one couple of days ago but that's all.. do you usually get cramps this early before your AF??

tryingforbabyone · 12/08/2019 12:26

@littlelisa34 no not this early normally the day my AF starts but they are only very slight!

littlelisa34 · 12/08/2019 12:27

@tryingforbabyone that's a good sign then 😁

Thistle23 · 12/08/2019 13:02

Hi,

wanting to ttc , I've been terrible in supermarkets and shopping malls when I've seen babies I never used to be like this Blush

No long off my pill, stopped 1st August just waiting on my cycle getting back to normal.

tryingforbabyone · 13/08/2019 09:27

How's everyone feeling today? Any updates?

MummaR92 · 13/08/2019 09:59

Hey can I jump on at all? So I came off my pill 25th June, had period a month later (no luck first month) now 6dpo after tracking. For the past 3 days I've been feeling sick in the mornings but not actually being sick and today I've got cramps in my belly. I'm hoping it's a good sign.

mrssunshinexxx · 13/08/2019 10:24

Welcome @MummaR92

@tryingforbabyone no updates other than I'm really thirsty but sure it's all in my head it's far too soon and I don't think I caught this month but I am really positive about next month now I've started using cb opks

How are you? What dpo? X

tryingforbabyone · 13/08/2019 11:01

@MummaR92 welcome and sounds positive! Fingers crossed for you!
@mrssunshinexxx I'm now 7dpo and have got lower back pain, dull cramps (which I don't usually get) and a tender left breast which is strange. I also had tingling breasts yesterday but I'm not sure if it's all in my head! We will see soon I guess!

mrssunshinexxx · 13/08/2019 11:02

@tryingforbabyone when is af due I'm due nect fri 23rd I won't be testing early x

MummaR92 · 13/08/2019 11:19

Thank you @mrssunshinexxx @tryingforbabyone ! My AF is due next Thursday so hopefully she won't arrive! I'm dying to do an early test!! This TWW is so frustrating Confused

tryingforbabyone · 13/08/2019 13:59

@mrssunshinexxx I'm due on Tuesday so won't be testing till then

littlelisa34 · 13/08/2019 14:50

Hi ladies.. well went to bed last night with indigestion and couldn't sleep at all was awake until well after 2am 😩 had some cramping earlier on but nothing now and when I went to bed last night my nipples seemed really dark but then this morning back to normal which I find very strange.. can't wait to find out one way or another.
@tryingforbabyone your symptoms sound promising heard pain in one boob is quite common before a BFP although I don't want to get your hopes up too much!

@mrssunshinexxx hopefully you won't need your new opks 😁
Welcome to the madness @MummaR92 😁
